Custom decals printing

Do you need decals for your models?Don't hesitate to contact us!

The new digital technology allows printing decals in a very short amount of time per piece. High-quality printing with CMYK colors and opaque white color.
The technology is especially suited for limited series, short run kits, update sets, individual orders, etc. however, thanks to the rapid printing of small amounts, manufacturers are also able to use this technology to print the necessary quantity of decals only, to avoid large store amounts of decals on stock.

Do you want print your own decals? Here you can find how to prepare your design for print.

About

History of company

2000

Our Humble Beginnings

I bought my first ALPS and learned to print decals

2001

APC Decals is Born

I and Miroslav Tebich started production of decals oriented to Czechoslovak Air Force. Miroslav is author of major part of designs. Later I bought designs from Miroslav.

2010

ALPS printers discontinued

Alps discontinued sales of their latest MicroDry printer, the MD-5500. I bought one of the latest printers, sixth in a row. The ALPS never excelled in endurance and reliability. Due to the planned end of the production of consumables, I'm starting to look for another solution.

May 2017

New technology

In May, the last of a long line of ALPS printers died. I made a crucial decision and bought a new printer. Production of decals moves into new dimensions. The print quality is incomparably better, the print speed is almost lightning fast. Now I can print in unlimited series.

How to design your decals

It's easy!

I need the design in vector format (Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape). For capacitive reasons, I'm not able to design decals right now.
In case you design decals yourselfs or arrange your proposal elsewhere, you have to meet the following prerequisites:
All object must be converted to curves, all draw in real size. An essential necessity is to convert all texts (but better of all objects) into curves. Especially in texts it is absolutely necessary. It is also recommended to create objects without a contour line. Leave a gap between each object, so that you can cut it apart without damaging the surrounding decals. We recommend about 2 mm as a minimum.
Set all colors in CMYK values. Set all the color shades as they really should look like. For example, do not use a light gray as a substitute for white. For white objects use CMYK 0; 0; 0; 0. The printer automatically adds a white layer under all objects (except black ones) and all white objects (CMYK 0; 0; 0; 0) will also be printed in white.
All colors are printed from CMYK. Remember that most colors look a bit different on the screen than printed. Color issues are very complex. We do not interfere with color design nor guarantee complete color matching. Our technology does not allow printing in spot colors, such as metallic. It is also not possible to print with a partial lacquer layer, the lacquer layer is over whole sheet.
